lyrics

Now and then I dent the car trying to keep it together.
And I admit I find it hard showing grace under pressure.

But they're saying run boy, run boy.
You're not being smart. boy.
I'm logging out and thinking
Run boy, run boy.
They'll pick you apart, boy.
And I hold my breath and think.

Hot damn, I got a heaven-sent sign that it's the right time
To stop making everybody feel
Like they're hot dogs in a locked car,
Baking in the summertime.
And I'm throwing away the keys.

Now, I know I'm not a god but I'll make it to heaven.
And I dont care to tell it soft,
Kids all want it 'eleven'.

They're saying run boy, run boy.
Get out while it's calm. boy.
And I can hear them saying
Run boy, run boy.
You're kicking a bomb, boy.
And I check myself and think.

Chorus

I've been trying to find my heart,
But it turned into pleather.
And am I capable of love?
Well, I'd never say never.

They're saying run boy, run boy.
You keep doing wrong. boy.
In every corner saying
Run boy, run boy.
Don't hit the alarm, boy.

Chorus
